OKC getting home court advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs would be rad. (However, the Lakers taking the #8 seed and the Mavs advancing against the Clippers would be rough scenarios.)

I realized that I hadn't seen the last four Woody Allen movies. For The Reveal today, I look at Woody's time in exile and how, on a creative level, he's earned his obsolescence: thereveal.substack.com/p/woody-allen-…

The LeBron/Redick podcast is just so freaking good, especially when you watch it on YouTube. The breakdown of 'The Block' at the end of today's episode is a marvel. You think that play is all about motor/effort, but there are cognitive levels, too. Incredible stuff. And fun.

ICYMI - Scott Tobias & I went deep down the rabbit hole of SPERMWORLD... connection to past work... and the union of participant and crew to make a movie like this...!

Watched the Alex Jones doc last night and it's making me think I should break my 16-year Twitter habit. The allowance—check that, the *deliberate promotion*—of destructive misinformation on here cannot be combated. I'll be here (@scotttobias.bsky.social) most of the time now.

The ball dropping behind him two seconds after he flips over the railing is taking me OUT
